Chapter 744 Ruthless Mother


    Lilly asked, "So?"


    The harem spirit eximed, "Please don''t tell me that you targeted your eldest daughter to the extent of


    killing her." It was not weird for these spirits to think so because the ghost matchmaker might really do


    such a thing. She avoided eye contact and replied, "It''s impossible for me to do so, right? How could I


    be so cruel to my own daughter?"


    The weakling spirit carried Lilly and asked the ghost matchmaker, "Then, what did you do for your first


    job?"


    She answered, "I''ve been searching for so long... and there''s no suitable candidate." There were a lot


    of girls and women from different viges, but the dead ones did not fulfill the age requirement. She


    was running out of time, and her mind was fixated on those two thousand dors. She already gave the


    1,000 dors payment to her mother-inw, and it was impossible for her to get it back from her.


    "When I was back home the other day, I saw my daughter washing theundry with her friend by the


    river." Her daughter was eleven years old, whereas her best friend was twelve. They were having


    simr life experiences; they always asked each other out to washundry, pick vegetables, collect


    pine oil, and so on.


    Lilly could somewhat guess what happened, and she was shaken to her core. The weakling spirit


    hugged her tightly, yet he was a ghost, so he could not make her feel warmth. "Let’s not listen to her


    anymore, can we?" He said gently, "I’ll bring you out to y."


    Pablo looked at Lilly worriedly, and he sighed. The harem spirit said to the ghost matchmaker, "Stop


    saying it." The other spirits all surrounded Lilly, asking her to stop listening at this moment.


    "It’s unhealthy for a kid to listen to these; let’s stop, okay?"


    "That’s right, you can train when you’re a little bit older."


    "Let’s stop hunting for ghosts and focus on your studies now. You can have a happy life growing up."


    Yet Lilly merely shook her head and answered, "It’s alright; my heart is strong enough for this."


    The weakling spirit looked at Pablo, but Pablo did not stop the ghost matchmaker from continuing.

    Hence, she continued to mutter, Daughters are worth nothing... So, it wasn’t a big issue if she


    identally fell into the river while she was doingundry, right?" She waited for the girl to speak with


    her daughter before pushing her into the river. The girl was not defensive of her since she was her


    friend’s mother; she was struggling and shouting for help in the river after being pushed. "I couldn’t


    bring myself to watch her die." She said to them


    The unlucky ghost asked, "So, did you walk away?"


    She choked and answered warily, "Yes." Every spirit was furious. She didn’t harm her daughter, but


    others!


    "Where’s your conscience?" The harem spirit questioned her. "You were once a daughter, yet you


    harmed someone’s daughter. That’s your daughter’s best friend!"


    The ghost matchmaker mumbled, "Well... I was having a hard time too. Who’s there to pity me? If I


    didn’t do so, I would be starving to death outside." She continued to say angrily, "What’s more, that girl


    was being abused at home; she’s better off dead."


    Lilly and the rest of the spirits were extremely furious! She hurriedly said, "After her death, her family


    didn’t even care about her! They simply wrapped her with a mat and buried her on the mountain."


    Based on their culture, any child that was killed by ident, especially a girl, would not have a coffin. "


    I hurriedly went to my client and told them about this twelve-year-old girl. I told them that it was nearly


    impossible to find the candidate; I convinced them that their son already chose this girl as his wife."


    Their parents were hesitant at first, but they agreed after hearing her words. Hence, she went to the


    girl’s family to tell them about the marriage proposal. The boy’s family was willing to give them a bride


    price worth ten thousand ny-nine dors, so the marriage was set. " After all, the daughter has to


    marry at some point. So, they’re not losing anything with that amount of bride price." It’s still marriage,


    whether she’s alive or dead.


    This type of practice was forbidden long ago. Even though their marriage culture was still different from


    the rest of the world, they still secretly held the wedding in the middle of the night. She realized that this


    job could earn a lot of money, so she continued doing it. But it was always secretive, and people never


    stoppeding to her. She was always traveling, and she knew well about the deaths of the bachelors


    and bachelorettes in every vige. Sometimes, it was not that hard because the dead’s family might


    only request that a living human marry their dead son.


    She was getting richer and richer along the way, and she was getting ambitious. She went to the other


    vige and built her own tile house. Lilly asked, "Did you bring your daughter to live with you?" The


    ghost matchmaker answered, "No, it’s better for her to have a family, unlike me." But when her mother-


    inw heard that she built her own house and her husband’s second wife found her ce, they all


    came to her house to beat her up and take away all of her money. The second wife smiled triumphantly


    at her while holding her son’s hand.


    The harem spirit snorted, "Karma was indeed fair to everyone!" After the ghost matchmaker was


    beaten up, she was bedridden for days. They left her daughter with her because they refused to look


    after her anymore. Her daughter took care of her, and her husband’s family visited her monthly to


    threaten her to give them money. She told them that she was not earning as she was bedridden, but


    they ended up beating her again.


    Lilly did not pity her, but shemented, "You could have run away again!"


    She replied, "No, there’s nowhere else for me to run to." I was penniless, so where else could I run to?


    They might beat me to death if I run again.


    Lilly was having mixed feelings. She’s… She’s like what Daddy has described to me before... She


    bowed down to the stronger people but bullied the weaklings. Hmph!


    She was bedridden for another half a month, but she knew she had to do something. She got a new


    job; a dead boy’s family requested a living wife, but she had to be young, single, and virgin. They


    offered eighty thousand ny-nine dors for the bride''s price. She was totally moved by the amount


    of the money, and she looked at her daughter, who was taking care of her. She fulfilled every


    requirement.


    The harem spirit eximed, "So, you let your daughter get married to the dead?"


    She replied, "Well, wasn’t it a good thing? She could have married someone who abused her, or she


    might not be able to give birth to sons. So, she’s safe marrying the dead." But, in reality, her daughter


    refused to marry him; she liked a boy from the same vige, and they had mutual feelings. Her


    daughter might not have been able to give birth to sons, but she could have ended up with a husband


    who cherished her, and her life might not have been tragic. Yet, the ghost matchmaker still forced her


    daughter to get married at that time.
